newer ones is 16ms, and i'm dieing for a LCD, i waited till they got better but now the prices arnt as bad and profromace is still good, my eyes.. i been seeing green tingaly thingys even when i'm not on looking in to my monitor, i see it 24/7! for 2 years and i dont know if it will get better i really shoudl see a doctor, i think it happened when i discovered starcraft

I love my LCD. I bought it when LCDs were a new thing, and I still prefer it over the CRT. In its native resolution the clarity is a lot better than a CRT display, and I can look at my LCD for ages without my eyes crusting over. Also, LCD displays don't emmit that sonic whine that you get with CRT displays.

I also have a nice big space in front of my monitor that I can use for drawing/written work.

My only gripe over the LCD is that you have to keep it at its native resolution, otherwise things look pretty terrible.

if your really into gaming, then get an LCD with a 16ms response time, NEC1760, Planar(forgot the model), Dell 2001FP(kinda expensive ). i have a Dell 1800FP, i game most of the time and the ghosting isn't really that bad.

I was reading up on LCD monitors a few weeks back and it seems the current king screen for gaming and movie viewing is the Hercules Prophetview 920 DVI...retails for about $550 US. Has the least ghosting and digital artifacting of any of the ones Tom's Hardware reviewed.

The refresh rates aren't really a problem unless you're getting into some intensive graphic functions. As far as eye strain, LCDs are much easier on the eyes, even with the lower refresh rate (rule of thumb is that higher refresh rate = less eye strain). My laptop LCD operates at a flat 60 Hz, and blinking really doesn't hurt. My 17" NEC FE700+ at home operates at 85 Hz and I frequently burn my eyes out, and I sit in front of a computer for hours on end. There isn't much difference with graphics performance; that depends on your graphics card just as much. As far as price, a 17" LCD will generally outprice a 19" CRT twice over. I actually prefer running CS on my laptop than the desktop. (Network lag is the least of my worries on a 40 Mbps network)
